Master of Architecture Post-Professional Degree
Charles Menefee — Director
The Post-Professional Degree Program (Path C) provides the opportunity for advanced study in design and topical research for students who have received a Bachelor of Architecture or equivalent professional degree. The one to two year curriculum allows a course of study tailored to the student’s interest and faculty resources. The program seeks to advance architectural design and research, with an opportunity to focus in areas including:
- Ecologically and culturally sustainable design of buildings and communities
- Advanced research in digital technologies
- Certificates in American Urbanism or Historic Preservation
- Participation in design/build projects
M.Arch. Path C Curriculum — Post-Professional Degree
This curriculum is for those with a professional undergraduate degree in architecture (B.Arch.). The program provides post-professional degree students an opportunity to undertake more advanced interdisciplinary studies in architecture. These self-initiated studies are supervised by faculty members and draw on the resources of the School of Architecture and the University. Because of the individualized nature of this program, the applicant is encouraged to visit the School of Architecture for an interview. Each student develops a specific curriculum in consultation with the chair. The duration of study may be extended beyond one year with permission of the chair. This degree is not accredited by NAAB. International students interested in gaining licensure in the United States should apply to the Path B program.
Accreditation
The Post-Professional Degree Program (Path C) is intended for students who already hold a Professional Degree (Bachelor of Architecture or equivalent) in Architecture. The Post-Professional Degree Program is not, by itself, an accredited degree.
